got close enough to smell it because he dabbed it on his neck so little and rarely.
    Nathan grunted as he tried to pull me up the stairs. I licked my lips, my hand finding the front of his belt, slowly tugging at his shirt. “Nathan, are you sure you only like boys?” I murmured into his neck.
    “Positive,” he said quickly as we finally found our way to the front of the condo. He ignored my hand beginning to play with the button on his pants.
    I licked my lips again, then slowly peppered kisses along his neck. He stopped his movements of trying to find his keys while holding me upright. “Jay…”
    “What?” I whispered innocently, my lips finding the shell of his ear as I stood on my tiptoes, my hand wandering. I lost my footing though, and stumbled into him, letting out a giggle as he caught me.
    “My God, you’re wasted.” His arms were holding me upright, pinning me to his chest so I couldn’t move. “I need to get the keys out of my pocket so we can go inside and get you to bed,” he patronized.
    “Hmm, to bed. That sounds wonderful,” I purred.
    “No, no, no… to your own bed.”
    “Nathan…” I pouted, my lips mere inches from his.
    Even though my eyes were closed, I knew he was smiling at me. “Jamie, we both know what’s not going to happen.”
    I pouted my lips even more. “Just kiss me one more time.”
    Nathan laughed even harder, but I stood confident in his arms, my eyes still closed, lips still tingling. “All right, one kiss. But I’m warning you, it’s not going to change me.”
    Just as I parted my lips to protest, his hands found my cheeks, tilting my head upwards to meet his mouth. His movements were gentle, softly plucking my bottom lip between his. As quickly as my arms moved to wrap around his waste, the quicker Nathan moved his lips from mine, tenderly plucking them once more before he spoke.
    “Got nothing. Sorry, sweetie.”
    My eyes sprung open as a frown spread across my face. Nathan smiled and winked at me, turning to open the door.
    “I don’t believe you,” I challenged.
    “Honey, you were pressed as close to my dick as possible with clothing on. Now tell me, did you ever feel him rise to the occasion?”
    I furrowed my brows as his cocky grin set in place
    “Oh come on!” I whined.
    Nathan laughed out loud as he unlocked the door. His arm locking around my waist as I stood there perplexed. “No, you come on. It’s time to go to bed.”
    With a strong grasp on my hip, Nathan led me inside. I shoved him away, nearly falling into the wall when he let go. Using the wall for support, I tugged my heels off in the most unladylike way possible. Nathan removed his shoes as though it were any other day.
    “You really didn’t feel anything?” I asked in disbelief.
    “Nope, not sexually. I know I got to you, though. I have that effect on men and women.”
    I huffed in annoyance as I sluggishly stood. “You wish!”
    Nathan laughed again, then swiftly picked me up, carrying me to my bedroom.
    I laid my head on his strong chest. “We could be together. It’d be the perfect marriage. We both care more about our work than anything else, so we’d just hang out on the off chance we weren’t working. I don’t think it’d be as complicated as a real marriage.”
    Nathan set me down by the foot of my bed. “Me fucking a man on the side might make things complicated.”
    He gently urged me to sit. “That wouldn’t be a good headline for the business. Nathan Conklin, guru of the business industry, caught cheating on his beloved wife with another man.”
    “Another man in an elevator would be a better headline. But only if it included a photo,” I added.
    We both laughed under our breaths. “You know that even in your wildest dreams a gay man wouldn’t be able to tame you.”
    I looked into his eyes, and he was right. My drunkenness faded slightly as our friendship solidified to an even higher place than it already was.
    “Maybe not, but he could make me feel
